Paul Preston, on 2023-08-09

Our room was lovely, nicely decorated and very clean. The room had everything we needed during our stay. We had a really relaxing time after a hard day's work. The surrounding countryside was beautiful. Breakfast was very nice with lots of choice. Our hosts were very polite and helpful. We will definitely be returning at some point. I would highly recommend this accommodation to anyone. thanks for a lovely stay.

Very welcoming and warm members of staff. Very large, comfortable and clean room with a really comfortable bead. Large and enjoyable breakfast. All for a very reasonable price (although it was out of season). I would happily return and recommend to others.

Naomi was the most amazing host - she made me feel so welcome and was really kind and attentive. Sharon welcomed me to breakfast every morning and would make sure I had everything I needed every day, from lunch to directions, always going the extra mile. I extended my stay from two nights to four because I felt so good there. At the end of my stay there was flexibility and extra kindness to a friend of mine when it was most needed. Truly kind people. This is one of the most remarkable places I've stayed and that's mostly down to the very personal greeting and hosting from Naomi and her staff. I will absolutely be back with my family.
